I’m not gonna tell Donna who sent in this picture. She will have to figure this out on her own 🙂 Wasn’t she a cute child?
Donna is one of the group of good eggs in the “One Hour at a Time Gang” who have been meeting on Saturday mornings to clean an area of the city that could use some clean up. They decide on an area and meet Saturday mornings for an hour or so and get it done.

I love the color of the overhead in the entranceway to the Saunders section of The Sawyer Free Library which Steve Goodick and Mikey DeFalco have been painstakingly and carefully renovating back to it’s former glory with generous help from the benefactors The Dunsky Foundation. I’ll be getting a more in depth interview with Michael DeFalco this week.

Got this message from Donna Ardizzone-
Hi All:
One Hour at a Time:
Date: Saturday, April 4, 2009
Time: 08:00 AM
Where: St. Peters’ Square
Please bring gloves and looking forward to seeing all
Thanks
That’s all it said. So I sent an email back to Donna asking here what the heck was going on.
She replied-
Hi Joey;
It started with Bob Gillis, Ed the House Doctor, Tony, Precision Roofing, myself and we just decided to do it and start cleaning rather than wait for the city to do it. Patti Amaral helps as often as she can. Some weeks we have quite few people. I send out the emails and we all decide what she be taken care of next.
A bunch of us decided to clean the streets every Saturday morning for an hour. Pick up trash, cigarette butts, etc. We go to Main Street and then the next week the BLVD, Good Harbor, etc. wherever we see an issue.. It works really well and people come up to us and thank us and I think that if people see people keeping their city clean it is catchy. Maybe you could mention on Good Morning Gloucester, thanks and also did you get to see Barbara’s window with the wedding dresses. Amazing…
Take care and hope to see you around town.
Donna
So if you are around and feel like lending a hand, swing on down to St Peters’ Square at 8:00AM April 4th and have at it.
I’d like to thank my pal the Rabbit and Benny Orlando a Gloucester native and Best Buy representative that sponsored over $250 worth of door prizes for the Gloucester Guerilla Art Project II/Russo family fundraiser.

Aaron just informed me that he is going to help with the plantings and has more exciting news from Corliss Brothers possibly donating to the cause also!
Thanks Aaron!
Good Eggs- Doug Cook is a good egg. Not only is he going to offer his Landscaping expertise consulting for the type of trees and land preparation, but he is also going to donate a tree for the GMG Tree Project! I couldn’t be more excited and happy to have Doug aboard the GMG team.
